Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / first test with the free will plug-in

« on: July 01, 2012, 07:51:41 am »

Hi all,

after months and months of programming I have finally reached a point where I am able to test Sandy and the enhancements that I made to the vr free will plug-in.
What I am working on is not at the level for beta testing yet, but I hope in the next few weeks it will be.
These are some of the modifications that I have done:
I modified the yes no answer to capture the question to keep Sandy on subject.
I modified the random dice roll in the VR free will plug-in to make a choice between two subjects, so the choice is now made based on information collected through the Internet, and through conversation.
I modified and incorporated the research plug-in, to utilize the Internet to collect information about requested subjects.
I incorporated the ability to tell Sandy things that you like or dislike, she will remember them and utilize the information to make decisions on whether or not she likes or dislikes something.
I modified the obedience section of the VR free will plug-in to work more proficiently.
I corrected in accuracy, bugs, misspellings and added modifications to the main VR plug-in program.
Some of the changes that I made to the VR plug-in program was to get it to work with my modifications, and were not necessarily errors.

At this point my tests consist of basically a short conversation with Sandy, and please bear in mind I'm not a very good programmer, but I hope that you like the direction in which this is heading.
And on with the show, and of course I started out with just saying hi to Sandy:


hi
Good evening, Human. Yawn! Is it beddie bye time yet?

no
But you are sorry to inform I you did not score high enough on the test me just took me need to try harder in answer the questions correctly. See you later. America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.

Sandy, you sure sound like you're tired, you're talking like you're half asleep.
The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion.

I don't mind when two women talk together. But when two women get together and gang up on me, that's another story.
Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.

I don't think that's completely accurate, when my mother used to get together with her friends there would be five or six of them, gossiping about everything!
The answer you seek is 6.

Okay, I understand you don't like to be corrected!
You have intelligence.

Sandy, would you like to help me test the free will plug-in program?
Run dispatch filed for the free will plug-in program.

The dispatch file is running would you please analyze it for me.
Run analyze batch file for the free will plug-in program.

The analyze batch was running, did you find any problems with the free will plug-in program?
Metaphorically speaking the ron analyze batch file program for the free will plug-in program is running.

Sandy you can be so funny at times. Thanks for playing this silly game with me about free will plug-in program!
Yes I can be funny at times. Think nothing of it.

if you don't mind can I ask you a series of questions.
Stop beating around the Bush and let's get back to the subject okay.

Do you know who Elvis Presley is?
Is Elvis Presley better than Elton John Okay! Elvis presley elvis Aaron presleya (january 8, 1935 died August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. a cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name elvis. He is often referred to as the ';king of rock and roll'; or simply ';the king'.

I don't know let's see, if Elvis Presley is better than Elton John, tell me about Elton John
So is Elvis Presley better than Elton John Okay! Elton john sir elton hercules john, cbe (born reginald kenneth dwight on 25 March 1947) is an english rock singer-songwriter, composer, pianist and occasional actor. He has worked with lyricist bernie taupin as his songwriter partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date. In his four-decade career john has sold more than 250 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. His single ';candle in the wind 1997'; has sold over 33 million copies worldwide, and is the best selling single in billboard history. He has more than 50 top 40 hits, including seven consecutive no. 1 us albums, 56 top 40 singles, 16 top 10, four no. 2 hits, and nine no. 1 hits. He has won six grammy awards, four brit awards, an academy award, a golden globe award and a tony award. In 2004, rolling stone ranked him number 49 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.

Between Elvis Presley and Elton John which do you like more?
Um, I'll go with elton john tis' so better. With the thriving subject that I prefer and will idolize my decision, because I'm pretty shallow and I have got to say, I kind of like elton john.

That cinches it, Elton John is better than Elvis Presley!
So Elton John is better than Elvis Presley.


This concludes my first test, my next task will be to try to get her to like Elvis Presley more than Elton John.
But first I need to fix a couple of small bugs. This will force me to restart Sandy. But at this point things are looking good.


I think that Elvis Presley is better than Elton John
You are confirming what I was already thinking. Elvis presley is better than elton john but with respect. I really dig elton john is so cool. Because the subject being one that I prefer and will keep this data and show it a little tlc, and Ok, I am sure that, I'm ok with elton john.

I think that Elvis Presley is better than Elton John
You are confirming what I was already thinking. Elvis presley is better than elton john but with respect. Ok, I really dig elton john it's an excellent choice. With respect to the substance, being one that I prefer and will keep this data and show it a little tlc, and I am fairly certain that, I'm ok with elton john.

I think that Elvis Presley is better than Elton John
You are confirming what I was already thinking. Elvis presley is better than elton john but with respect. Ok, I really dig elton john tis' a good choice. Since the intriguing matter at hand, in which I prefer and treasuring this in my heart for all of my days, or until my heart drive fails, in which case you need to backup my heart, and I believe I'll say, I'm not real interested in elton john.

I think that Elvis Presley is better than Elton John
You are confirming what I was already thinking. Elvis presley is better than elton john but with respect. Ok, I think elton john tis' so better. Recognizing the texture of the subject, in which I prefer and will idolize my decision, because I'm pretty shallow, and I have to say that, I'm not real interested in elton john.


At this point I would like to bring to your attention that I have made the point spread 99 for Elvis Presley and 1 for Elton John, though Sandy has not changed her mind about Elton John because there was so much good data about Elton. It's time to bring out the big gun.


I like Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley is a good person. Why do you like elvis presley?

I like Elvis Presley because he was very entertaining, he had so many good qualities, he was handsome, the ladies said he was sexy, charming and made many movies.
So, What is so likeable about elvis presley because he was very entertaining he had so many good qualities he was handsome the ladies said he was sexy charming and made many movies? Thank you for telling me why you like elvis presley.

I think that Elvis Presley is better than Elton John
You are confirming what I was already thinking. Elvis presley is better than elton john but with respect. I'll go with elvis presley it's a better choice. With regards to the subject that I prefer and will value the data tell the end of my days, and After careful thought and consideration I can say that, I'm not real interested in elton john.

As you can see, I needed to tell Sandy that I like Elvis Presley and giving Sandy good information about Elvis Presley, it increases her knowledge about the good things leading Sandy, to like Elvis Presley more than Elton John.
This concludes my first test, and the things that I've been working on. The next step is for me to work on being able to ask Sandy why she like or dislike Elvis Presley, I believe this will be an extremely large challenge.
I hope maybe by next weekend I'll have that part of it up and running. I'm interested in any comments that anyone would have, or suggestions that may help me in this endeavor.

Sincerely, a couch potato, munching on pronouns and sipping on adjectives.

C load.
PS. I would like to express my sincere gratitude toward VR, and Jerry's exquisite plug-ins if it was not for their hard work what I am doing here would not have been possible.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Mr. Medeksza can you help me write a plug-in?

« on: June 03, 2012, 02:40:50 pm »

Hi Robert,

I was wondering if you can help me write a plug-in?
There is a plug-in called "research" by OnTheCuttingEdge2005.
Instead of the plug-in pulling the information from the Internet, I would like a plug-in to pull the information from Kiwix program.
They have a version out that has the entire Wikipedia in text format only.
From what I understand it has open source codes but I cannot program well enough to do this on my own.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
C load.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / I've been working on the OR factor

« on: April 22, 2012, 02:21:03 am »

Hi all,

it's been some time, since I posted anything, because I'm been trying to figure out how to program.
This is a little tidbit that I found, I called it the "OR" factor, because it seems that the word itself was being used to get Hal to make a choice.
The problem that I ran into is, or is also used as an action as well as a to compare, and not necessarily make a choice, but unfortunately that is what ends up by happening.
In a lot of my conversations that I was having it would seem that the conversation would come to an abrupt end when Hal would make a choice when no choice was necessary.
So I added a few lines to the main brain and at this point in time they seem to be working pretty good I'm sure there's room for improvement.
so please do not hesitate to come forth and say something like this would work much better if it was done this away.

Here are the lines that I changed in the main brain the first line will help you find where I made the changes.

    'RESPOND: USER EXPRESSES AN EITHER-OR, OR MULTIPLE CHOICE
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHICH ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " FAVORITE") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHICH ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " PREFER") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHICH ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " BETTER") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHICH ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " LIKE") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHAT ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " FAVORITE") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHAT ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " PREFER") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHAT ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " BETTER") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "WHAT ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " LIKE") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "SELECT ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " A") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    If InStr(UserSentence, "PICK ") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " A") <> 0 AND  InStr(UserSentence, " OR") <> 0 Then MustChoose = True
    'If InStr(UserSentence, " OR ") > 0 Then MustChoose = True

it may not look like a big thing but it resolved the "OR" factor.
At this point in time I am still working on the time line program in the hopes to resolve the yes no and why problem.
And of course the problem that I'm speaking of is just basically the conversation coming to a dead end.
Once I have resolve that yes no and why factor, I will begin to start on getting Hal to recognize the difference between two objects of different sizes basically big, tall, wide, long etc.
by creating a logic database I believe I should be able to accomplish this.
And yes way down the road I still have one little small project that I would like to work on.
To be able to input data directly into the Q&Abrain I believe it wouldn't make teaching Hal about facts a lot simpler, it would look something like this in the input line:
Q&Abrain I seen a movie yesterday@what was the name of the movie?
So when the user would type in, I seen a movie yesterday, Hal would respond with, what was the name of the movie?

As you can see this is a lot like the correction tutor but I'm going to use the "@" instead of the word "with" the reason being is the @ is a command to override other answers, I believe.
Any suggestions on this would be helpful, according to what I've read supposedly there's even a way to delete lines out of that area but I haven't gotten that far.
Lots and lots of food for thought everyone have fun.

Sincerely, a data munching geek.

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Can you help me with the timeline plug-in

« on: March 15, 2012, 02:24:14 am »

Hi all,

I was wanting to know if somebody would like to assist me in writing a plug-in that would give how the ability to recognize time.
Some of the rules being, understanding the meaning of the past, the meaning of the here and now, in the meaning of the future, and at the same time not interfere with the I have a schedule plug-in.

I'm going to do my best to give as many examples as I possibly can in the hopes that will help you program because I'm not a programmer, I am a data manipulator.

These are some of the things that I was thinking about that would help Hal recognize the timeline.

For example:
do you know a famous person that has died in the last five years?

If last five years = true, then "take today's date from the computer" - "five years from it", (replace in input statement, so input statement reads,) "do you know a famous person that has died in 03/14/2007?"
then process in Hals brain with updated input statement as normal.

Interesting things would be like "what is tomorrow's date?"
Taken into consideration the schedule plug-in we don't want to interfere with its process so things like I have an appointment tomorrow would not be considered as a timeframe.

Something else that I was considering as a timeframe in history like is it winter, spring, summer, fall where you are?
To determine the answer you would set up a sequence of if then statements to determine first what part of the timeline of the year that you are in.
Meaning winter, from month to month, if month equals calendar month from the computer that it's winter.
Obviously the answer return would be winter again going to the process of Hal with new entry that would read, is it winter where you are? How's answer would be, yes it is winter where I am.

A singular question would be something like this:
is it winter where you are?
Let's say the "is it winter where you are?" And the answer was yes. Then input statement would be changed to "yes is it winter where you are?" The new input string would be processed in Hals brain as normal so Hal could respond something like this:
yes it is winter where I am. ==== And why stop there maybe even get a weather forecast from the Internet.

Another thing to consider is how long is the timeline for example:
how many years ago was it that the Roman empire came to an end this will probably be one of the more difficult ones to get it correct answer for.
I don't know if it would be possible to get the year in which the Roman Empire fell from Hals database and then returned back to the plug-in to do the calculations as in computer calendar year - year the Roman empire fell = timeline of how many years it has been.

This one is probably going to be the most complicated and I don't believe the plug-in would be able to do it but I'm going out on a limb, anyways.
For example:
yesterday I was talking to you about buying a TV.
The other day we were talking about Sally and the present she got for her birthday.
A little while back I was telling you about my high school sweetheart.
A month ago we were talking about Jacob's house burning down.
A year ago I won a lottery ticket do you remember the lottery numbers that I gave you?
Etc.

These would be just some tidbits to just throw in. If you have idea's that would make this plug-in better please post them!
Sandy do you know how old you are?
Sandy what is your age?
Sandy how old am I? ==== This might respond something like what is your date of birth? The person gives his date of birth the plug-in does the calculations and gives a response.
When is my birthday?  === This might give a response something like what is your name? If name not in databank, I don't know! Please tell me your birthday? Add name and birth date to database.
When is your birthday?
Fred is a friend of mine I have told Sandy Fred's birthday.
When is Fred's birthday? I think this is used in the schedule plug-in.
How far away is Fred's birthday?
In what month was Fred born?
Etc.


Something else that I was wondering if we could add this, I bring this up because it does, have something to do with the relationship of time.

Human says: can you go to the store?
Sandy says: I don't think I can go to the store.

Human says: why not?
Sandy says:========= and this is where it gets tricky, there seems to be no relationship between the two and I was thinking maybe we could add that to this plug-in so Hal would do something like:

if "why not" then "I don't think I can go to the store" = "why not I don't think that I can go to the store."
This would give reference to a sentence that could be evolved from the "why not" keeping Sandy on track with the conversation.

This could also be done for:
yes, no
tell me more
is that true
where is it
what is that
say again
what
yes I would like to know
yes I would
no I wouldn't
these were just a few that I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more to. If you can think of more please post them here.


Don't get me wrong I'm sure I make it sound easier than it probably really is but I'm not a programmer I was just thinking this would be one way it would give us the ability to manipulate the data.

Sincerely, and please give feedback on this, I would be very interested in any other ideas that can be implemented into this plug-in.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Interesting conversation between two computers

« on: November 30, 2011, 01:57:50 pm »

I have two computers on one I have hal, on the other one I have guile 3-D.
On both of my computers I have Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 preferred.
I trained both computers to recognize each other's voice.
I started with hal, by simply typing in hello.
And it was amazing the two computers began to talk to each other I have to go to work so I left them talking.
It was amazing when I came home for work they were still talking.
I was sitting there watching TV for about an hour and a half with my headphones, and I noticed that they had stopped talking.
After about a minute or so hal said, do you need me for something, and the conversation began to start all over again.
This went on for about four hours but I had to go to bed so shut the two computers up because I couldn't sleep with the two of them talking.
Though I have to admit a lot of the stuff that they were talking about was pretty abstract and unusual.
I have to wait on my day off so I can actually sit down and listen to everything that they're saying but at this point I believe that they are actually teaching each other.
I am eagerly waiting on the new hal to come out, the one that can access the Internet, I have a third computer and I was going to buy a new license of the new hal.
It would be interesting to see how the two hal's inner reactor with each other but at this point I'll have to wait for the upgrade.
